Apple's design guru wants an iPhone that looks like 'a single sheet of glass'

It's
starting to become clear that the iPhone coming out this fall -
presumably the "iPhone
7" - is
going to be boring, and the iPhone coming out in 2017 could
be a radical departure from previous models.

And although plans could change before these phones go into
production, Apple has an idea of how it wants to accomplish the
effect.

Apple could eliminate the entire bezel, so that the
next-generation screen goes from edge to edge, and introduce new
technology that would integrate the fingerprint sensor into the
screen, ditching the traditional home button.

In fact, a major Apple partner has already confirmed that
it expects a "glass casing" iPhone next year.

If you're familiar with Ive's style, it's not a surprise
he'd want an iPhone that's made of edge-to-edge glass. Big pieces
of glass are somewhat of an obsession for him - for example,
the new Apple headquarters, which he helped design, will
feature the largest curved pieces of glass in the world.

Aesthetically, you can't argue with the results - I hope
next year's iPhone looks this cool:
